Re: New to group: Daughter going to be getting a helmet

[Guest guest]

Your daughter is still at a great age for results. We were fortunate that my inlaws covered most of my daughter's band. I know others have received help from organizations. Hopefully they will chime in. I can not remember if there has been any members in the Anchorage area.

My daughter was banded at 9 months and we saw great results. She also hated anything on her head. She never minded her band though, She ate,played and slept the same. She was the same happy baby. Be sure to let us know how the appointment goes.

New to group: Daughter going to be getting a helmet

My daughter is almost 6 months and we have an appoitment on Friday to see about getting a helmet. I wish we could of done this soon but the doc wanted to try reposionting 2 months ago and it hasnt helped. I only waited a month and it wasnt making a difference so started with all the appoitments to get things going and its taking another month. I am hoping we can get a band asap because I want to just get the healing started with already. I am scare though, I have seen some casting pics and am scared to death to put her through that! She hates things on her head that are snug and screams until I take it off, so I dont know how we are going to do this! She also is a great sleeper and I am so afraid that this is going to effect that. My husband is active duty air force and tricare wont cover it so we have to pay out of pocket which is going to be hard but I know she needs this so we will figure something out. If anyone is in Anchorage area, I would love to meet other moms going through this. My husband is so busy with working that I feel like I am going through this alone and I need support cause I am so worried about my poor little baby.

I too have had the same worries. My son,

just a few days shy of his 8 month birthday is receiving his DOC band on 09/10.

I am scared to see what sort of temperament he will be in. He is naturally very

laid back, hardly ever fusses and is just a blessing. I worry that he will not

be tolerant at all. Will keep everyone posted on his “attitude,”

post band fitting.

My daughter is 7 months old and has been wearing the doc band for about 2 - 3 weeks. She has had no problems adjusting at all. Good luck. It is much easier than you would think! I think it is harder on the parents than on the kids, most of the time.
